Slime Fishing

Featured Replies

Hey guys! Most of the ponds around here are shallow and as the season progresses they fill with snot grass( the slimey crap you can't keep off your hook) early in the season it's only on the bottom, but later on its everywhere! Do you guys have any tips for catching bass in this stuff?

weedless baits...doesnt really matter if they get some slime stuck on it just keep fishing it

Frogs and weightless plastics are about the only options if the stuff is covering the entire surface. If there's open areas I like to run spinnerbait, buzzbaits, chatterbaits, or swimbaits along the edges of the stuff. Weightless senkos, flukes, and creature baits fished around the edges or cast into the holes. 

Bass don't like gorilla snot. Fish elsewhere.

When I start pulling that stuff in, I move somewhere else.
